Processing liquefied waste polymers containing diolefins and naphtha
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240034946A1) describes a method for processing liquefied waste polymers (LWP) involving several steps. The method includes providing an LWP stream containing diolefins and naphtha, subjecting the LWP stream to hydrotreatment reaction conditions with hydrogen and catalysts to produce a diolefin depleted LWP stream, distilling the diolefin depleted stream to obtain distillates including a naphtha fraction, and subjecting the naphtha fraction to hydroprocessing conditions to produce hydrogenated naphtha. The process involves specific temperature and pressure ranges for the reactions, as well as the use of specific catalysts like CoMo and NiMo.
Furthermore, the method includes additional steps such as feeding the hydrogenated naphtha to a steam cracker, admixing the distillation bottom with crude oil to form an admixture, and feeding the admixture to a crude oil distillation unit. The method also involves feeding the middle fraction obtained during distillation to a crude oil distillation unit. The LWP used in the process can be waste plastic pyrolysis oil or hydrothermally liquefied waste plastic oil. The patent application outlines the specific conditions and catalysts required for each step of the process, emphasizing the efficient conversion of LWP into valuable products like hydrogenated naphtha for further industrial use.
